Getting married
is one of the
highlights of our short life on
this earth. I wonder how many
millions of tons of confetti have
been spread around churches
and other buildings over the
centuries. I’m sure there will be
mixed views over the environmental impact but, hey ho, it
all seems like good fun to me.
Hope you enjoy our short feature
on weddings this month!

February, in our northern climate and
location, tends to be our lowest
month for mood and physical well
being. Some people suffer horribly
from seasonal affective disorder
(SAD) and thankfully, now the doctors
can get ahead of that with some early
interventions from October onwards.
The Bible assured the people of a
hot middle eastern land that “ the sun
shall not strike you by day... nor the
moon by night”. However we are
grateful for whatever little sunshine
and even moonlight can brighten up
our lives. So, the appearance of
longer days and an early sunrise is
most welcome. Even a little snow can
help brighten up the landscape at this
time.

Since ancient times and certainly in
the Bible, the symbol of light shining
through the darkness of people’s lives
has been a regular feature. Light
makes things clear and transparent.

Often, we say that the truth casts light
on an uncertain situation. For
Christians, the most pure form of
TRUTH is not a list of facts, nor is a
mythical philosopher’s stone. For
Christians, the Truth is a person:
Jesus Christ, the source reference for
all truth. Jesus indeed underlined that
when He said, “I am the truth.”

policy making, the Good News that
we share in our Churches is like a
blessed holiday from it all. Forget
about retail therapy! Overconsumption
is one of the main causes of our
current financial gloom. Far better to
turn your eyes towards the light of
TRUTH, the light of Jesus Christ, that
we share in Church. That will brighten
up your life.

In a darkening world that increasingly
evades ethical practice or enlightened

At a time when we have difficulty
trusting the international system of
money, the banks and even our own
elected politicians, issues of truth
telling and transparency become
most called for. I personally would
rather hear bad news about large
mistakes in government policy than
have it hidden in dark cupboards in a
way that nobody can make the
necessary adjustments with the
situation just going from bad to worse.

Feeling Fat?
Need to tone up?
A Vibrational Plate is a machine that gives the
body's muscles a low-impact, high-speed workout
by using vibrations to stimulate them to contract
and relax. They generally contract once or twice a
second, but just by standing on it, the vibrations
cause an automatic reflex muscle contraction of
30-50 a second.
Just 10 minutes on the Vibrational Plate will have
the same results as 60 minutes of conventional
strenuous training.

This type of workout has

kind of workout that you can get!
Many people who are excessively
overweight have also said that
itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great start to getting in

Vegetables are fat-free and
cholesterol-free

All vegetables, by definition, are cholesterolfree and for all practical purposes, fat-free.
Over 95 percent of vegetables contain less
than a gram of fat per serving, and even that
insignificant gram is mostly unsaturated fats.
Although we may hate to admit it, our mothers
were right when they told us to eat our
vegetables! As with fruit, vegetables require
little or no preparation. All you have to do is
rinse, peel or cut to your liking and munch
away! Most types of veggies are delicious raw.
Since they make such a great snack on the go,
it’s easy to take a few carrots or celery sticks to
work with you.
Fresh vegetables are also delicious in a salad.
If you prefer cooked vegetables, steam them
lightly over a pan of water or in the microwave.

Make sure to cover them to trap the steam

though because vegetables retain most of
their flavor and nutrients only when they are
cooked lightly. Avoid boiling or cooking
vegetables with fat. Did you know that boiling

Well, one of the big stories of recent
months has obviously been the Forres
Mechanics award for the best footy
scotch pie. No great surprise really
when it is supplied by Murdoch
Brothers - already winners of a variety
of top scotch pie awards.

”

As a bit of a film buff, I took some
time out recently to see the fantastic
screen adaptation of Tolkien’s epic
The Hobbit. It is a book I loved to
read and the filming is breathtaking
in its scale.

While it may not be good for the waistline, I can certainly
testify that Forres Mechanics/Murdoch Brothers pies are
good for the soul. I should, of course, point out that there
are other butchers and bakers in Moray who also make
really excellent pies and I am on a mission to check them
out as well. However, in the meantime, well done to
Mechanics for keeping their loyal supporters well fed with
some high quality Moray produce!

It was great to see Scottish actors in the cast as well,
which is hugely encouraging for those involved in the
arts. Following on from Skyfall and the scenes shot in
Scotland for the Harry Potter movies, the cinema is
proving to be a great shop window for our country
and for our many talented folk.

Dreaming
of...
...Bermuda

Bermuda is located 1,000 miles north of the Caribbean and just 2 hours flying
time from the East Coast of America which makes it a perfect destination for a
stop-over en-route to New York or Boston. It is just 8 hours from Gatwick and
British Airways offer connections from Inverness.

Port Royal Golf Course

The islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture is a rich fusion of British colonial history and African heritage. Bermudans are well
known for their sincere friendliness and warmth. The island is famous for its Bermuda shorts that were
fashioned on the British Military uniform for hot climates in the 20th century, and the Royal Navy still
have them as part of their uniform today. This is taken very seriously with rules stating that Bermuda
shorts should not be worn shorter than 6 inches above the knee.
Bermudaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital, the city of Hamilton, is packed with historic buildings, churches, shops, museums,
galleries, parks and gardens. All of this set alongside a beautiful harbour. During the summer months
Front Street in Hamilton City is closed to traffic one night a week for Harbour Nights. This is where the
cruise ships dock and the harbour is transformed into a bustling festival of arts, crafts and food
stalls, late night shopping and colourful live performances!
Bermuda is an all-year-round destination. The spring, summer and autumn months are
the best time of year to make the most of spotless pink beaches such as the popular
Elbow Beach and the exciting diving opportunities on offer. There are over 200
species of hard coral and wreck dives are very popular too with Bermuda boasting
over 400 dive sites.
It is also famous for its 7 golf courses! This is more golf courses than any other small island in the
world. The winter months are the perfect time of year for golfing. In 2013 the PGA Grand Slam of
Golf will be played at the prestigious Port Royal Golf Course between the 16th and 18th of October.

It is difficult to imagine a more romantic
setting for your wedding than a 17th
century house set in a sheltered walled
garden. However, Innes is not just a
stunning venue which you and your guests
will never forget, but also offers a wholly
flexible programme to enable you to plan
your day exactly as you would like.
Every wedding is unique and tailor-made for
each couple. You may hold the ceremony
here in the garden or in one of the two
beautiful reception rooms. After the service
your guests can wander around the gardens
whilst you have your photographs taken in
these tranquil, romantic surroundings.
The reception and dinner may be held in the
East Dining Room or larger parties can be
held in our marquee extension which covers
a walled garden complete with a summer
house for the bar and a fountain around
which the tables are set. After dinner you
may enjoy dancing or other entertainment
and then drive away down the tree lined
avenue and look back on a magnificent
floodlit house.
Alternatively, you and some of your guests
may stay the night in one of our splendidly
appointed bedrooms and leave after a
leisurely breakfast the next morning.

Any couple booking their 2013 Wedding with us during February 2013,
will be offered complimentary wedding night accommodation along with a
‘Champagne Toast’ upgrade of their chosen drinks package.

Humanist Weddings
It’s not surprising that we’re the fastest
growing provider of weddings in Scotland –
because people who go to Humanist
Ceremonies like them so much!
A Humanist Wedding celebrates the people
involved – the couple, their family and friends.
Ask us about symbolic gestures (like wedding
band warming, handfasting and candlelighting), how you can involve your family and
friends in the ceremony, and choices of
wording for your vows. You can be as traditional
or unusual in your choices as you like. We work
hard to tailor the ceremony to fit you – making it
a unique, personal celebration of your love
and future together. That’s why Kirsteen said to
her Celebrant: ‘Thank you with all our hearts –
our wedding ceremony was utterly joyous and
unforgettable. It was better than we dreamt
possible, and we felt you understood us
and the words we wanted to say.’

+44 (0) 7010 714775
If you’d like a Humanist Wedding, our Celebrants are ready
to talk to you! And we’re authorised to marry you
wherever you’re having your ceremony.
“We look back on our humanist ceremony with a feeling of real joy!”
“We haven’t stopped smiling three months later.”
“Thank you so very much for helping to make our day such a success.”

Humanists think it’s possible to live a good, worthwhile life without religion.

Caring about...
Before
Renovation

...complete Lawn Renovation.
A project this year ?
Many of you will, in your darkest moments, consider
giving up on your lawn… too far gone… wouldn’t
know where to start… best to get it dug up and put
down a new lawn ! Replacing a lawn can be very
expensive however whether you plan to replace it with
a new lawn or even slabs or gravel. Consider this, a
worn-out lawn can actually be renovated in situ at a
fraction of the cost of removing and replacing the
whole thing. I have included here a before and after
picture taken just a few weeks apart last summer. I
suggest there are 4 stages in the process, and you
could either try this yourself, probably with some hired
machines, or get some help (probably best as you
have to live with the results for years to come).
1. Hollow tine Aeration removes thousands of cores,
reducing compaction and allowing air to move in the
root zone, encouraging microbial activity and root
development.
2. Severe Scarification removes as much thatch as
possible, allowing the seed to find the soil surface
which always aids germination. Once the thatch has
been removed it has to be cleaned off the surface by
either raking or sweeping, using a leaf sweeper.
3. Seeding should be applied at a rate of 20-25gms per
m². The seed, being on the soil surface, puts it in direct
contact with the material that will help it germinate; it
is however open to the elements and can be disrupted
by heavy winds and birds’ feasting.
4. Top Dressing covers the seed. Many think top
dressing should be a sandy soil mix. We actually use a
lawn compost, manufactured from recycled green
waste and therefore environmentally friendly. It
contains nutrient to assist existing grass and promote
good germination from the seed and aids good
microbial activity. This is applied at 2kg per m².
All that’s required now is regular watering until the seed
germinates (regular rainfall isn’t usually a problem in
these parts). The best time to tackle this is June-Sept in
Scotland, and that means starting planning now for
your new lawn this summer. At around £2 per m2 to
renovate, compared with around £12 per m2 to
replace, it really is worth considering.
